Cang Le City, the capital of the Cang Qin Kingdom, was prosperous, and Ning Cheng’s memories had many shadows of Cang Le City, but for Ning Cheng, this was the first time he had truly walked on Cang Le City in the true sense. Cang Le City gave Ning Cheng a feeling of prosperity with a kind of vicissitudes, like an old man whose strength was slowly leaving, somewhat hobbled.
The streets in Cang Le City were crisscrossed, with many smaller streets stretching out on either side of each large, spacious street, intertwined together as if they were spider webs.
On both sides of the streets, there were all sorts of shops, many of which sold things that Ning Cheng had never even heard of before, let alone seen. The most common shops were selling and acquiring all kinds of vicious beast materials, low-grade spiritual herbs, and some weapons. The more upmarket shops sold magic weapons and pills.
As for the hotels, ordinary clothing shops and some brothels, there are even more.
The buildings in Cang Le City are of all kinds, not only pavilions, but also western-style castles. All these buildings are mixed together, making the whole of Cang Le City look a bit unconventional.
Ning Cheng stood in front of a shop selling ordinary weapons and looked around, he saw an extremely ordinary long knife priced at one gold coin. And all the possessions that Ji Luofei had given him together were only fifty silver coins. One hundred silver coins could only be exchanged for one gold coin. That meant that all his possessions combined could only buy half of this ordinary long knife.
For those shops that sold magic weapons and pills, Ning Cheng did not go in to look. He knew that very few of them charged gold coins, and that all those shops charged were Qi gathering stones. A single Qi gathering stone could be exchanged for a hundred gold coins, even if the Ning Family was still around, Qi gathering stones were still a luxury to the Ning Family.
Some hunters with various weapons hanging on them were also interspersed in the crowd, walking down the street. These people generally carried a faint smell of blood on their bodies, clearly returning from years of killing outside. Although such people look fierce, they are the most popular in Cang Le City. This is because they are generous with their money and seldom return a price.
Such people lead a precarious life, and apart from some who have the qualifications to cultivate, most hunters are drunk on wine today. The gold coins and money they get are all used to enjoy life, not only going in and out of some prosperous hotels, but also spilling the gold coins they get in the brothels in Cang Le City.
Just as Ning Cheng was still sighing at the prosperity of Cang Le City, a sharp shout came from the end of the street. A young man dressed in white, riding a white unicorn, whistled and rushed from the far side of the borrowed road. From a distance, it looked like a ma*s of lightning coming over a white shadow.
People in the street dodged to the sides, and some who could not avoid it were directly knocked away by the white unicorn. This white shadow arrived in front of Ning Cheng’s eyes in the blink of an eye. Ning Cheng had always been very agile in his reactions, and by now his body had slowly recovered, so he reacted almost the moment he saw this white shadow.
Just as Ning Cheng wanted to back up, he saw a young boy who was still standing in the middle of the street, somewhat frightened and confused. At this moment, those who reacted quickly on the street had already retreated, and those who reacted slowly had also started to retreat, so this little boy obviously could not escape the unicorn that was flying over.
Ning Cheng quickly brought the little boy up with his backhand and pulled him to the edge of the street. As Ning Cheng was able to move out of the way of the street, the white unicorn whistled past Ning Cheng, bringing up a wind that made the corners of Ning Cheng’s eyes vaguely hurt.
Seeing the little boy unharmed, Ning Cheng breathed a sigh of relief, still thinking in his heart that this unicorn was some kind of beast, probably because it had lost control of itself and was suddenly running through the street.
At that moment, the unicorn that was running wildly in front of him suddenly stopped, and not only that, the unicorn also turned its head and walked in front of Ning Cheng.
“Dare to spoil my fun, looking for death ……” The man in white sitting on the back of the unicorn had already lashed a whip at Ning Cheng as he spoke.
Ning Cheng immediately tried to give way, but he then realized that he simply could not let go of the whip. The long whip had already brought up an invisible force that suppressed him, or rather made it too late for him to evade it.
Ning Cheng’s heart sank, and without waiting for him to think about the next question, a force had already brought him up. The next moment, the long whip sliced past his eyes and even brought his lapels up already.
Someone had saved him, Ning Cheng understood at the first moment. At the same time, he also learnt that this white unicorn running down the street was simply intentional. The owner of this unicorn actually took pleasure in bumping into people, and him taking that little boy away seemed to give the other party one less thrill of bumping into people.
After Ning Cheng instantly understood this, his heart sank even lower. This was no longer Earth, and this seemingly completely unjustifiable thing was happening openly and honestly. By saving a little boy, he had likewise offended this man in white who was looking for a thrill.
The man in white on that unicorn was even more furious when he saw that Ning Cheng had also been pulled away. However, when he saw the person who had saved Ning Cheng, that anger immediately extinguished and even his tone became gentle and polite as he said, “So it’s Su-jie, this is just a pariah ……”
As the man in white on the unicorn spoke, he had already leapt down from the unicorn.
“Ham Yuan Kui, I don’t have that good of a relationship with you, and also, whether I save the pariah or not is none of your business.” A crisp, cold woman’s voice rang out, while a slender young girl dressed in a pink dress appeared in front of Ning Cheng’s eyes.
Ning Cheng immediately knew that it was this young girl who had saved him. However, Ning Cheng did not go up to thank her, he knew this woman. Her name was Jane Su-jie, and she could be said to be his Ning family’s enemy, and it was because of her that his family had been destroyed.
Looking at the pretty, icy face in front of him, Ning Cheng could no longer remember if his predecessor had molested her, but he did remember that the previous Ning Cheng had been extremely fond of her. However, his predecessor was from a good background, so he would not have been unaware of the vast difference between himself and Jian Su-jie, and even if he liked her, he could only put it in his heart at most, and would definitely not do anything to molest her.
Besides, with the strike that Jane Su-je had just made, even if his predecessor was a straw man, he could not have been unaware that his own cultivation was far inferior to Jane Su-je’s. Compared to Jane Su-jie, it would be difficult for him, Ning Cheng, not to mention molesting her, to even approach her, right? It looked like there was something odd about his predecessor molesting Jane Su-jie and ending up in jail.
The white-clothed man called Xian Yuankui hit a nail in the coffin with Jane Su-jie, and his face immediately became embarra*sed. But then he recognised Ning Cheng, “Huh, you’re Ning Cheng? You actually haven’t died yet? Senior Sister Jane, this kid ……”
After all, Xian Yuan Kui did not dare to call Su-jie two words again, but his words were once again interrupted by Jane Su-jie, “You don’t need to worry about that, you will only be able to run around the prosperous street on the One Horned Stone Whistling Beast that you have bred.”
After saying that, Jane Su-jie turned back and gave Ning Cheng another cold stare, “If I were you, I would hunker down in a corner and be a turtle, and I wouldn’t have the face to come shopping.”
Ning Cheng sneered in his heart, ignored Jane Su-jie, turned around and walked away.
“Insensitive thing.” Seeing that Ning Cheng had actually ignored Jane Su-jie, Xian Yuankui immediately scolded behind his back in displeasure.
Seeing that Ning Cheng, who usually treated her with a pleasing look, was ignoring her, the saviour of her life, Jian Su-jie frowned for a moment. However, she did not say any more to Ham Yuan Kui, changed direction and similarly turned around to leave.
Ning Cheng no longer had the thought in his heart that he could survive before, in a place like this, if he could not cultivate and had no strength, then there was really not much hope of surviving. At this moment, how could he be in the mood for shopping? He had to cultivate, even if he could not cultivate.
“Father, he’s the one who saved me.” A brittle voice rang out next to him, and Ning Cheng turned around and saw the little boy that he had just saved from under the unicorn’s feet. Ning Cheng had momentarily forgotten about the little boy because of what had just happened, but he did not expect that this little boy would still remember him.
At this moment, the little boy was already being pulled by a middle-aged man whose face was covered with marks, and this middle-aged man was obviously the little boy’s father.
Ning Cheng thought that the middle-aged man was going to come over and say thank you, so he stood still as he prepared to say a few polite words. But to his surprise, when this middle-aged man saw him, his eyes immediately panicked and he hurriedly bowed to Ning Cheng and said, “Young Master Ning, I’m really sorry, the child didn’t know any better and rushed Young Master Ning, I’ll take him away now ……”
After saying that, he didn’t even wait for Ning Cheng’s reply before pulling the little boy and quickly retreating away, quickly disappearing in the middle of the crowd.
Ning Cheng touched his slimmed down face and shook his head, he did not know this middle aged man, yet he could feel that the other party should be very afraid of him, Young Master Ning.
Such a trivial matter was not on Ning Cheng’s mind, for him, the most important thing now was to go back and cultivate. If he couldn’t cultivate, he would have to think of something else, either to leave the Cang Qin Kingdom or to find the rest.
